Chapter 176 Sewer Theory

Walking out from the back of the store, Xing Ze found that the eldest lady had disappeared, and his face, which was not very good to begin with, became even gloomier.

When he walked quickly to the place where he was originally staying, Xing Ze saw a piece of gummy bear dropped on the ground. He squatted down to pick up the gummy bear, looked up and saw another piece on the cement road not far away.

Following the gummy bear left by Ellie, Xing Ze found her on the west side of the church. He showed the gummy bear in his hand in confusion and said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you would wait for me there? Why are you playing the candy house game?"

"From your tone and expression, things don't seem to be going so smoothly." Ellie teased, and took out a piece of bread from her pocket and threw it to Xing Ze.

"It's almost noon, eat something. You'll be in a worse mood if you're hungry."

"I don't like things that are too sweet." Xing Ze took it and muttered, but he still tore open the package and started eating, "Why are you here?"

"I've been waiting for you for a while. Instead of wasting time, why not come and see the important places where people disappear. Here," Ellie pointed to the street not far from the church, "and there, these are frequent places where disappearances occur.

"But what I can't understand is why these two places. Look, there's a church nearby. I think even if the Muggles here are not very pious, there will always be people passing by more or less.

"But... but six missing cases, the same place, six cases, no witnesses. Not to mention that street, close to the residential area, nine missing cases also have no witnesses."

"Dream things..."

"Swallow the food before talking, don't mumble, Li." Ellie said with her hands on her hips, "Also, don't tell me that dream things don't follow the rules of the world."

Xing Ze swallowed the bread, "What I want to say is that even dream things may have to follow some rules of the world, after all After all, this is not a dream, and some of them are not strong enough to break the rules. "

Ellie raised her eyebrows, "Great, it's finally not a cliché. Then tell me, what did you find?"

"Drain."

"Drain?"

Xing Ze nodded and pointed to the side drain of the church base, "I bet you fifty cents that there will be such a drain on that street."

The eldest lady turned and looked at the street not far away. She put her hands on the pergola and quickly found a similar drain there.

"For Merlin's sake, Li, is this your discovery? If so, I also know that almost every household here has a toilet."

Xing Ze protested, waving the bread in his hand, "I'm eating, Miss Nix. These side drains are generally used to drain rainwater, but did you notice?

"These drains are not equipped with isolation fences, which means that the sewers here use a combined overflow system."

"Wait," Ellie interrupted, "I'm getting more and more confused. "Simply put, they drain rainwater and sewage together. So the sewers here must be built very spacious so that they can handle the huge amount of drainage and debris." "Are you popularizing sewer knowledge to me?" "Of course not. How is your memory?" Xing Ze asked with a smile. "It depends on what you want to ask." "In the six missing cases that happened here, do you remember how old the missing people were?" "Three boys, two girls, all just children, and one is a young man." Xing Ze quickly took a few bites of bread and walked to the sewer. "These sewers are big enough to pull down a child, and if you squeeze them, you can also pull down a young man. Of course, he has to break a few bones first." The eldest lady opened her eyes wide, and she said in a deep voice: "You mean, the screamer hunts through the sewers?" "Just a guess. In my opinion, one or two times may be a coincidence, but there are sewers at almost every crime scene, which is a problem. Of course, we still have to look at the underground drainage tunnels of New Ravenska Village, and we have to ask more people who know the inside story. "

"People who know the inside story?"

"Yes." Xing Ze looked at the church behind him, "We now have three concentrated points of disappearances, one is the wizard shop, another is the church, and the last one is near the town school.

"In my opinion, the Screamers have fixed hunting locations. Otherwise, the missing people would be more scattered and not so concentrated. And in these places, I think there must be people from the Sabbat Cult.

"Like plover and crocodile, a wonderful symbiotic relationship. Of course, all this is just my guess. For the details, we still have to ask Father Corbett here. "

"People from the Vatican?" Ellie showed disgust, "I hate dealing with these clergy."

"Don't worry, this priest may not be from the Vatican. "

Ellie stopped walking towards the church and looked at Xing Ze with puzzled eyes.

Xing Ze drew out his wand, ready to fight, "After I completed the investigation and confirmed this place, I asked a few friends in the Vatican.

"The last priest of this church died forty years ago, and the Vatican has not appointed any priests to serve here. So, there is no parish here.

"I can't help but wonder who this Father Corbett is. According to the introduction of the black brothers just now, this place not only spreads the Lord's morality, but also distributes the so-called holy fruit in secret.

"I'm lucky enough to get the so-called holy fruit." Xing Ze took out a red candy from his pocket, "This is it, look, things are getting interesting."

When she saw the red candy, Ellie's face darkened, and she also took out her magic wand.

"It seems that we have found the right place."

"I hope so," Xing Ze smiled bitterly, "Let's go in through the back door, I don't want to face the wrath of the Lord directly."

There is a small door at the back of the church, which is the passage for clergy and volunteers to enter and exit.

"Knock on the door?" Ellie asked.

"It's still daytime, Miss Nix, there are people living around." Xing Ze showed a helpless look, "and we are not robbers."

Ellie went forward and knocked on the door, "Next time, just give a direct answer."

The small door creaked open, and a thin man poked his head out. He asked with a puzzled look: "Who... who are you looking for?" His voice was hoarse, as if a handful of yellow sand was poured into his throat.

"We want to find Father Corbett to confess." Xing Ze said familiarly.

"Why not go through the main entrance?" The thin man asked again.

Xing Ze made a helpless expression, pointed at Ellie and said: "My sister, you saw it too, she doesn't want others to see her enter the church."

The thin man looked at the two of them, then pushed the small door open and said: "Come in."
